I recently looked at that project as well. Personally I would love to see 
these projects become one. The Conquery project offers something we don't: 
POST. And we can offer something Conquery doesn't have (yet): 700+ 
searchplugins.
I haven't payed any attention in how he made the post work, but to me this 
sounds like it should be included in Mozilla builds. There is a feature 
request for this for years now. It would make Mozilla even better. Also, it 
would make the promotion of Mozilla easier. Now you can include about every 
searchengine instead of the GET ones only.
